TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates to the field of liquid cooling and heat dissipation, for example, to a liquid-cooled plate and a heat dissipation device.
BACKGROUND
With the continuous development of communication technology, the power consumption of electronic devices continuously rises, the power consumption of a single cabinet has been increased from 3-4 kW in the past to the order of 100 kW and the heat flow density reaches more than 20 W/cm2. Air cooling and single-phase liquid are difficult to satisfy the highly-reliable heat dissipation requirement of high heat flow density electronics in the future, and the temperature control has become an essential factor restricting the development of the high heat flow density electronics.
The phase change working medium fluid circuit heat dissipation system based on flow boiling heat exchange has obvious advantages over single-phase heat exchange in solving local high heat flow density and large-scale heat transfer and two-phase fluid circuit will be an effective way to solve the high heat flow in the future. However, a subcooling problem usually exists when the two-phase liquid enters the cold plate to work, one-way heat exchange has a larger thermal resistance than the two-phase heat exchange, which causes the uniformity of the inlet heat dissipation unit and other heat dissipation units to be reduced. Moreover, due to the high pressure of the two-phase system, the optimization mode of the flow channel structure inside the cold plate is limited and the convection heat exchange area for the heat dissipation is limited. When the two-phase system is used for the cabinet cooling, there is a risk that the temperature of the chip will exceed the standard.

An embodiment of the present application provides a heat dissipation device. The device includes a condenser, a pump, and the liquid-cooled plate of any one of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with drawings. If not in collision, the embodiments of the present application and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other. In the embodiments of the present application, a liquid-cooled is the phase change working fluid circuit heat dissipation structure based on flow boiling heat exchange, which can solve problems of a locally high heat flow density and a large-scale heat transfer. The two-phase liquid-cooled technology has the advantages described below.
1. The heat flow density of the heat exchange is high. A boiling heat exchange coefficient may reach 1 to 10 W/cm2K, which is one order of magnitude higher than a single-phase liquid-cooled technology.
2. The heat transfer capacity is high. Latent heat of vaporization of the liquid is used in a phase change process, and a latent heat value of the phase change is dozens of times higher than that of the water cooling.
3. The temperature uniformity is great. In the evaporation process, isothermal phase change evaporation is performed; therefore, the temperature uniformity of multiple cold plates in a multi-evaporator series system is great, and the uniform multi-point heat source has outstanding advantages.
In the embodiments of the present application, a liquid-cooled plate is configured to include two parts: a single-phase channel for subcooling liquid and a two-phase channel for overheating gas. A low-temperature liquid-state coolant and a high-temperature gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant exchange heat in the liquid-cooled plate, so that the subcooling coolant is preheated to a certain extent and approaches a saturation state, thereby solving the problems that the temperature of the chip is relatively high and the uniformity of the overall temperature of the chip is relatively poor caused by the single-phase heat exchange at the inlet. The inner channel surface of the liquid-cooled plate is machined to artificially increase the surface roughness or the foam metal material is added to increase a boiling heat exchange coefficient, and thus under a limited convection heat exchange area, the boiling heat exchange can be strengthened, the thermal resistance of the convection heat exchange can be reduced, and the temperature difference between the chip and the cooling working medium can be reduced, so as to solve the problems that the thermal resistance of the convection heat exchange is relatively large and the chip is easy to overheat in the flow channel design.
FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of a liquid-cooled plate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 1 , the liquid-cooled plate in the embodiment of the present application includes a single-phase channel 10 and a two-phase channel 20. First fins 11 are spaced apart in the single-phase channel 10 and second fins 21 are spaced apart in the two-phase channel 20. A liquid-state coolant becomes a gas-liquid two-phase coolant after a heat exchange of the first fins 11 in the single-phase channel 10 and is output after a heat exchange of the second fins 21 in the two-phase channel 20.
The liquid-cooled plate in the embodiment of the present application includes the single-phase channel and the two-phase channel. The first fins are spaced apart in the single-phase channel and the second fins are spaced apart in the two-phase channel. The first fins are configured to perform the heat exchange with the liquid-state coolant flowing through the single-phase channel to convert the liquid-state coolant after the heat exchange into the gas-liquid two-phase coolant, and the second fins are configured to perform the heat exchange with the gas-liquid two-phase coolant flowing through the two-phase channel to output the coolant after the heat exchange. In one embodiment, the single-phase channel 10 may be a channel through which a coolant flows, the structure of the single-phase channel 10 may be a round tube or a flat tube, the first fins 11 may be provided inside the single-phase channel 10, multiple first fins 11 may be provided, the first fins 11 may flow in a same direction as the coolant in the single-phase channel 10, and the multiple first fins 11 may be arranged in parallel. The first fins 11 arranged in the single-phase passage 10 can raise the heat exchange efficiency and improve the heat dissipation effect of the coolant. The two-phase channel 20 and the single-phase channel 10 may have a same structure which may be a round tube or a flat tube. The second fins 21 may be provided inside the two-phase channel 20. Multiple second fins 21 may be spaced apart. The two-phase channel 20 may be a channel through which a coolant of a gas-liquid two-phase working medium flows. The coolant may absorb heat in the single-phase channel 10 and convert from liquid to the gas-liquid two-phase coolant. The converted gas-liquid two-phase coolant may flow into the liquid-cooled plate through the two-phase channel 20 to perform the heat exchange again. The gas-liquid two-phase coolant after the heat exchange may flow out of the liquid-cooled plate. Since the heat exchange temperature difference of the gas-liquid two-phase coolant is low, the problem of subcooling of the liquid-cooled plate can be prevented.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, FIGS. 2A and 2B are structural diagrams of liquid-cooled plates according to embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIGS. 2A and 2B, FIG. 2B is a sectional view of the liquid-cooled plate along a direction a-a of FIG. 2 . The liquid-cooled plate 100 may be composed of the single-phase channel and the two-phase channel. The coolant in a liquid state may flow into the single-phase channel of the liquid-cooled plate through a single-phase inlet 50 of the single-phase channel. Multiple fins 22 may be provided inside the single-phase channel. A gap existing between two fins 22 of the multiple fins 22 forms a fluid channel 30 for the coolant flowing. The coolant may exchange the heat in the fluid channel 30 to absorb the heat emitted by a chip to be heat dissipated. After the heat exchange, the coolant may be converted from the liquid state to a gas-liquid two-phase state. That is, both a liquid coolant and a gas coolant are included. The gas-liquid two-phase coolant may flow out from a single-phase outlet 40. The coolant in the gas-liquid two-phase state may flow in through a two-phase channel inlet 60 to perform heat exchange again in the fluid channel and may flow out through a two-phase channel outlet 70. In one embodiment, the two-phase channel may have a same structure as the single-phase channel, the two-phase channel and the single-phase channel may be separated by a spacing 80, and the two-phase channel may also include the fins 22 to increase the heat dissipation area and improve the heat exchange effect of the liquid-cooled plate.
In the technical scheme of the present application, the single-phase channel and the two-phase channel form the liquid-cooled plate.
